Invite your friends. Hold a small group discussion. “Where Work Meets Faith” is a New Evangelization Parish Program that is not duplicitous because it satisfies innate needs common to all mankind.  The only sharing is experience, never advice. Each member retains autonomy over his own belief construction. For example, Jeff Liautaud said: “In my own small group with Christ and Mary as my internal mentors, I am lead to the promised “unity for all” found in Eph. 4:13.” Designed for the Holy Spirit to do the evangelizing, its 3S protocol builds interfaith dialogue. It is designed to meet or exceed all requirements established for New Evangelization by USCCB Catholic Hierarchy. The vision is community for all mankind.
